Kitchen Pot Mats


Our kitchen pot mats collection brings together heat-resistant mats designed to protect your worktops and table surfaces from hot pans, casseroles, and baking dishes. From practical everyday options through to printed designs that coordinate with your wider kitchen textiles scheme.
Pot mats and trivets serve a simple but essential purpose — protecting your worktop and table surfaces from heat damage caused by hot pans, casserole dishes, and baking trays. When choosing a pot mat, heat resistance is the first consideration: look for mats with good padding or a heat-reflective layer that provides proper protection rather than minimal coverage. Most of our pot mats feature a cotton outer with a heat-resistant inner layer and are part of a coordinated kitchen textiles collection — buying a pot mat that matches your tea towels and oven gloves gives your kitchen a much more considered, pulled-together look. Most fabric pot mats are machine washable, which is an important practical consideration for something that inevitably gets used regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the pot mats?

Our pot mats come in standard square or rectangular sizes suitable for most pans and dishes — check individual product listings for specific dimensions.

Are pot mats heat resistant?

Yes, our pot mats are designed with heat-resistant layers — always check the product description for specific temperature ratings and recommended use.

Are fabric pot mats machine washable?

Do pot mats coordinate with other kitchen textiles?

What is the difference between a pot mat and a placemat?

A pot mat is specifically designed to withstand the heat of a pan or hot dish directly from the hob or oven, while a placemat is designed primarily for table use under plates and cutlery.

What fabric are the pot mats made from?

Most feature a cotton outer with a heat-resistant inner layer — check individual product descriptions for specific fabric and construction details.

How do I care for my pot mat?

Machine wash at 40 degrees and allow to air dry flat — always check the care label as some heat-resistant constructions require more gentle handling.

Can I use a pot mat directly on a dining table?

Yes, pot mats double up as practical table protectors for serving hot dishes directly at the dining table as well as on the kitchen worktop.

Kitchen Pot Mats

Pot mats and trivets are one of those kitchen essentials that you do not fully appreciate until you need them and do not have one to hand. Our kitchen pot mats collection covers a range of heat-resistant designs from practical everyday options through to printed and novelty character styles that coordinate with the rest of your kitchen textiles. A good pot mat protects your worktop and dining table from heat damage and spills, and ours come in designs that make placing them on the table feel like a deliberate stylistic choice rather than an afterthought.
